Yoga Philosophy Sessions

Philosophy is the core of any subject and yoga is not different, without philosophy yoga is similar to a body without consciousness. Philosophy classes at Affiliate Yoga Schools - Rishikesh Yogpeeth conducted in an interactive environment, where the process not only allows participant to learn and navigate how to form questions but also helps them reach to their own answers regarding mundane, emotional and spiritual life. We have experienced that the quality of questions determine the quality of life and if one knows the techniques or the path to reach to the answers, life becomes the playground of possibilities. One of the major outcomes of this is the development of interpersonal communicational skills, which refines the perception and responses towards the events of life for enhanced experience of it.

The history and origin of Yoga

An introduction to Six Philosophies of Indian context

An introduction to Yoga Sutra & Hatha Yog pradipika

Yogic Ideas, concepts and hypothesis from ancient scriptures

Anatomy – Physiology & Psychology of Yoga practices

Modern understanding of human organism has really helped this ancient wisdom of Yoga to get established in this era because many of the hypotheses of Yoga now we can observe and evaluate for their health benefits. Anatomy classes allow the students to gain a basic knowledge about the human body and its most important systems.

General understanding of Human organism with its different systems

Emphasis of Nervous, Musculoskeletal and Respiratory system

Role of immunity and the practices to enhance its functioning

Benefits and contraindications of Yoga practices

Asana Sessions Combination of Hatha and Ashtanga yoga

Culture of Asana practice started as Hatha Yoga Tradition, since then it has crossed a long way to reach to the modern versions of Shri B. K. S. Iyengar and Sri K Pattabhi Jois styles of Yoga. These two are the pillars of the Modern form of yoga, where one talks about the precise alignment and the other one talks about the flow. We as the practitioners of Yoga requires both, where alignment is the perquisite to experience the ultimate stillness of Mind and body, at the same time flow is equally important and required in our life for its ultimate expressions and its ability to flow even in the odds of life. These two streams of Yoga studies are the basis of Modern Yoga we know now Days, and Asana sessions at Affiliate Yoga Schools - Rishikesh Yogpeeth are perfectly balanced between these two streams of study and also under the light of Traditional Hatha Yoga, which prepares the participants for the higher practices of Yoga.

Sanskrit Terms, Benefits and Contraindications of Asana

Use of the breath and specific bodily gestures (Mudras and Bandhas)

Study and practice of different styles of Sun-salutations

Study and practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa - Primary and secondary series

Pranayama – Breath regulation for the regulation of being :

According to the hypothesis of Yogic scriptures Prana is the fundamental force behind the manifested state of existence, it manifests as breath within the human organism. Regular practice of breath regulation is just a medium to unfold the structural matrix of existence for the advance practitioners of Pranayama but for most of us only the physical and mental benefits related to these practices are sufficient enough to get attracted towards them. A Pranayama session at Rishikesh Yogpeeth systematically deals the subject matter to develop a holistic and comprehensive awakening to this potential form of Consciousness. For a yoga practitioner breath is medium to reach to the self and access realization. Breath is also called is psychophysiological mirror of being, that means just by regulation over breath we can regulate the overall complete being.

Breathing techniques to improve the respiratory functioning

Which in turn improves the functioning of all the systems

Natural breath – slow, rhythmic and diaphragmatic

Breath regulation for stress related problems

Importance of Kumbhak/breath retention and its applications

Mantra Sessions

Traditional hypothesis of Mantra is very close to the science of sound, rhythm and its relationship with silence & Consciousness, Mantras are of two types one without the meanings and the other with meanings, without the meaning called seed or Beej mantra, these are the most powerful sounds of manifestation. In tradition mantras are used to concentrate and ultimately liberate the mind from its limitations. In mantra classes, participants will learn how to develop an inner space for meditational journey by using these mantras. In Mantra sessions Teachers at Affiliate Yoga Schools – Rishikesh Yogpeeth will guide the participants step by step to unveil their own source of potentialities and later on they can use these experiences in their own teachings.

Yoga Teacher Training India - Reviews

Rishikesh Yogpeeth was a transformational experience that fulfilled much more than my expectations. The 200 hour teacher's course is holistic and balanced with a particularly generous dose of spirituality and Eastern Mysticism. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to look inwards and find peace while looking good on the outside too : ) I take what they taught me with me everyday and look forward to the time when I'll return.

Really enjoyed the 'Rishikesh Yogpeeth' experience. I was looking for a strong foundation to start a path in yoga and learn how to become a great teacher and that is exactly what I found. They have an amazing vision for the future so I envy the people studying with Yog Peeth about a year from now.

Testimonials

This teacher training course was life changing. There are not many places you can go for a long period of time and learn about the nature of the world; the universe. I have been waiting for an opportunity such as this to come my way for many years now and am so happy to have experienced the intensive study with Rishikesh Yogpeeth. Best of luck to the organization in the future.

Rishikesh Yogpeeth holds a very special place in my heart. While I came for yoga I returned from India with a much deeper understanding of life. Asana classes were rigorous and fun at the same time and it opened up my body and spirit towards meditation and appreciation. A year later, back in Manhatten I still look back at Rishikesh Yog Peeth with joy and respect. You will feel lucky it came on your path ,like I did.

Traveling to India to learn yoga was the right thing to do for me. My concept of "yoga" was transformed from the Western physical activity to the spiritual Indian experience. It's a perfect introduction to the complex discipline that is Yoga -and it is explained in a friendly way. Rishikesh Yogpeeth made the experience a non pretentious process which I feel enabled me to understand the true meaning of yoga. I would totally recommend this course to anybody who is interested in learning about the self and Indian culture.

Miriam CastilloRYT 200

I attended the 200 Hour TTC June-July 2012 and I still glow every time I think about my experience at Rishikesh Yogpeeth. Sanjay and Roshan created a very comfortable environment in which to learn and grow and the other students were (and continue to be...we still keep in touch!) very supportive of one another. I was able to deepen my practice I came to India with and continue to challenge myself throughout the training. The food was delicious and the local outings were so much fun! I highly recommend attending this teacher training course.

Study Yoga in Rishikesh, India

Learning yoga in Rishikesh is a truly unique & life changing experience. Rishikesh has been the cradle of this ancient wisdom tradition for centuries. Many great saints and numerous practitioners have spent their lives practicing and developing this wonderful science of life in these very mountains. Yoga students feel a very palpable spiritual energy and grace when they spend time in practice here.

The benefits of studying Yoga in Rishikesh are so many, but the foremost reason for coming here is perhaps that everyone is here for the same reason and you instantly share a passion in common. Normally when you encounter new people there may be something in common; you are from the same town, work in the same profession, have similar hobbies, kids-house-garden and all that… but for most people here; yoga is a passion and sharing a passion creates very strong bonds. Bonds that stretch across oceans, nations, cultures, religions, age, gender and sometimes last a lifetime… That is why there are so many tear-filled goodbyes at the end of each course at Rishikesh Yogpeeth. People connected through their hearts, through their passion for yoga, who have for six weeks been tied together in a web of wordless understanding, sharing their dreams and climbing the same ladder towards the desired diploma has reached the point of separation. It is painful. Leaving the yoga tribe, a temporary spiritual family of equal minded souls in one of the most spiritual places in the world... it is not easy.

But why should one choose Rishikesh Yogpeeth when there are so many schools available? That is of course up to each individual to answer, but for me (Jenny Wickman - RYT 200 :: Graduated in May 2012) personally it turned out to be a great choice. Rishikesh Yogpeeth offers a package concept of traditional style of yoga (asanas, pranayama, meditation, philosophy and physiology), nice accomodation, excellent food and available teachers all in one peaceful place. When I decided to become a certified yoga teacher it was important for me to get a proper, international Yoga certification from a registered school (RYS 200 or 500) with dedicated teachers, offering 200-hour residential Yoga Teacher Training. I had been to Rishikesh on a holiday two years before and it somehow felt destined to return to this little town for some life changing six weeks.
